I am having trouble changing the font size for the flash component, text input. This text input component is already ready made where you can find it in components. So i just drag and drop it onto the stage. However, the font size is too small. And I can't change it. Or do I need to change it through coding in AS3? Thank you!

var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.size = 18; // your value here
instanceName.setStyle("textFormat", format);
